For information on procedures and formatting rules that apply to all batch uploads, see Batch Upload Basics .
Keep these rules in mind:
• The customer upload file must begin with the standard XML version line such as:
• The root (first) tag for Customer files must be the customers tag, and the file can contain only one.
• The customer tag follows the customers tag and contains other identifier tags that describe an AR customer.
• The customer tag can be used multiple times.
• Each customer tag must have at least one address tag and multiple addresses can be defined.
